WORD Research this...Psalms 109
- 1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
- 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
- 3 They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
- 4 For my love they are my adversaries: But Igive myself untoprayer.
- 5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
- 6 Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.
- 7 When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.
- 8 Let his days be few; Andlet another take his office.
- 9 Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.
- 10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.
- 11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor.
- 12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
- 13 Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
- 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
- 15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
- 16 Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them.
- 17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.
- 18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.
- 19 Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
- 20 This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.
- 21 But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name’s sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;
- 22 For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
- 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
- 24 My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.
- 25 I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.
- 26 Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:
- 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
- 28 Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.
- 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
- 30 I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
- 31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
